# Samuel A. Carlisi

Canonical: https://mobfiles.org/people/sam-carlisi/

Named by the Seventh Circuit in 1997 as the leader and financial backer of the Carlisi Street Crew. He died while his appeal was pending, and the court ordered his conviction vacated.

The role line paraphrases the Seventh Circuit's statement that he "was the leader and financial backer of the group." The phrase "boss of all bosses" is the court's wording, quoted in the events and not used as a title. CourtListener's text of the "boss of all bosses" sentence prints "A1 Capone" and "Aecardo"; they are corrected above as errors in its scan.

The opinion does not give the date of his death, only that it came after the appeals were consolidated and before the decision of July 29, 1997, so the died field is empty. No opened record gives his birth date.
